COVID-19 Update for Referring Physicians

April 7, 2020

To all our referring medical professionals:

We were just informed that our Grossmont Hospital Perinatal Clinic will be temporarily relocated to the nearby Sharp Rees Stealy Urgent Care office building located at 5525 Grossmont Center Drive Suite 602 in La Mesa, CA 91942 until further notice. Grossmont Hospital needs to use our current space for COVID-19 isolation. We will begin seeing patients in the new location on Monday, April 13, 2020. Our staff will be calling patients prior to their appointments to notify them of the change in the office location. Please help us communicate this change to your patients who may be scheduled at our Grossmont satellite office location. As always, feel free to contact me if you should have any questions.

This is an ever-changing and unprecedented time. As such, we wanted to let you know that we are dedicated to continuing to provide the highest quality of care in the safest way possible. A few changes we have made to our practice to try to keep patients healthy:

We will only be allowing patients to come into the office. No guests.

If patients are sick or symptomatic, we would like them to call our nurse triage line (858) 966-4963 before their appointment.

We are rescheduling non-urgent appointments in sick patients.

We are continuing to see urgent patients but may ask them to wear a mask.

To effectively manage and screen symptomatic patients, availability at some satellites may be temporarily limited.

As always, we are available for any urgent scans, consults or transports to Sharp Mary Birch. Please call the on-call physician 858-939-4839 with any urgent concerns.
